Book excerpt: "The Halfords' book is an achievement. For the first time ever, any Westerner who reads English can obtain a real insight into the plots and stories, the texts and characteristics of Kabuki dramas, and in terms which a Western-trained mind can readily understand. For this the entire Kabuki world must be grateful." -- From the Foreword by Faubion Bowers, author of Japanese Theatre and Theatre in the East Kabuki has been described as "in the main, the finest theatre art in the world," and its ever-growing popularity both in Japan and abroad bears witness to its tremendous dramatic effectiveness. The fact that many persons tend to regard it as mere spectacle, thus missing the greater part of its moving appeal, has been due to the lack of any key to the intricacies of its plots and its unfamiliar stage conventions. Here at last is a genuine key, one which opens wide vistas of understanding and appreciation. Included here are lucid synopses and crystal-clear explanations of the hundred odd plays which form the backbone of the classical Kabuki repertoire and constitute over twice that many individual program items. Equally as valuable as the synopses are the informative and entertaining Notes explaining the many points that have proved perplexing to the non-Japanese spectator. Both synopses and notes are provided with a careful system of cross references and an indispensable index, all making for ready use and saving the spectator from "dwelling so much on some minor, but incomprehensible, point that the thread of the drama is lost." Kabuki is drama -- drama par excellence -- and now, thanks to this invaluable handbook, may at last be enjoyed as such. The authors have well fulfilled their aim of allowing the playgoer to concentrate on the performance and appreciate both the Kabuki actor's amazing virtuosity and the unique art of the Kabuki theatre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kabuki is the most popular form of Japanese traditional theatre, a colourful and exciting spectacle based on traditional, historical and mythic narratives, many of which involve the code of the samurai. Dazzling though the costumes and makeup are, Kabuki is basically the telling of a story, but as there is no spoken narrative or dialogue in Kabuki, the story has to be known in advance, in order to fully appreciate the performance. A proper playgoer's companion, it not only gives plot summaries of more than a hundred of the greatest and best Kabuki plays and dances, but also describes exactly what is happening on stage as the performance proceeds -- who the characters are, how they can be identified, when they enter and exit, and what they are doing. All forms of Kabuki drama are included -- exotic spectacles, classical plays about valour and devotion, love stories and dances. The structure of Kabuki programmes is explained, as are the technical terms and customs that visitors find perplexing, and there is a helpful system of cross referencing, and a comprehensive index. It enables novices to appreciate the unique art of Kabuki for the first time, and enhances the appreciation of experts. Indispensable for any play-goer, this remarkable volume is also a valuable resource for all students of traditional Japanese culture and literature.

Book Synopsis Revenge Drama in European Renaissance and Japanese Theatre by : K. Wetmore
Download or read book Revenge Drama in European Renaissance and Japanese Theatre written by K. Wetmore and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-04-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revenge Drama in European Renaissance and Japanese Theatre is a collection of essays that both explores the tradition of revenge drama in Japan and compares that tradition with that in European Renaissance drama. Why are the two great plays of each tradition, plays regarded as defining their nations and eras, Kanadehon Chushingura and Hamlet, both revenge plays? What do the revenge dramas of Europe and Japan tell us about the periods that produced them and how have they been modernized to speak to contemporary audiences? By interrogating the manifestation of evil women, ghosts, satire, parody, and censorship, contributors such as Leonard Pronko, J. Thomas Rimer, Carol Sorgenfrei, Laurence Kominz explore these issues.
